[Leica] SL and Left-eyed Shooters

[Tina Manley]

Bob -

I'm a left-eyed shooter and the SL is my current favorite camera.  I don't
use the buttons that much.  I try to set the camera for the situation and
then just leave all of the buttons alone.  Usually, I either use center
focus and recompose, or I use face recognition which seems to work great
most of the time.  I very seldom use the joystick but when I do, it doesn't
seem to interfere with my left-eyed shooting.
